Fatal Affair

Ellie and Marcus Warren move from the bustling streets of San Francisco to a serene coastal home. This decision coincides with their daughter Brittany's departure for college, marking a new chapter in their lives.

Ellie encounters David Hammond, a tech consultant at her law firm, who she recognizes from her college days. Unbeknownst to her, David is dealing with his own issues, including anger management stemming from a troubling past incident.

During an initial meeting meant to establish professional rapport, Ellie and David share drinks that escalate into an uncomfortable situation in a club's restroom. Despite Ellie’s attempts to maintain her boundaries, the encounter leaves her unsettled.

Following their encounter, David begins a series of alarming actions, including relentless calls and messages. His obsession grows as he starts surveilling Ellie and breaks into her home, crossing all personal boundaries.

Ellie learns from a former college peer of David's horrific past, suspecting him of murdering his ex-wife Deborah. This revelation causes Ellie to feel increasingly threatened and she decides to warn her friend Courtney about David's potential danger.

In a confrontational twist, Ellie discovers David golfing with her recovering husband Marcus. This betrayal intensifies her anxiety and her feeling of being surrounded by danger.

Ellie manages to access David's apartment, uncovering shocking evidence of her invasion of privacy. She finds photos of herself and Deborah stored on his computer, revealing the depth of his obsessions.

As Ellie attempts to inform Courtney about her findings, David arrives at Courtney's home and violently attacks her. This incident leaves Courtney seriously injured and escalates the urgency of Ellie's situation.

With the police on the lookout for him, David devises a disturbing plan to fake his own suicide by igniting a homeless man on fire along with a fabricated note. Authorities quickly gather evidence linking him to the murder of his ex-wife.

Ellie receives a distressing message from David prompting her to visit the office. Upon arrival, she is horrified to find her assistant has met with a fatal incident, heightening her sense of dread.

In a chaotic turn of events, Ellie returns home only to be confronted by David. In a moment of bravery, she knocks him unconscious using a vase, giving her a brief reprieve.

Ellie discovers a horrific scene at home—her daughter Brittany's boyfriend has been killed, and her family is held captive by David. The stakes are now terrifyingly personal, fueling her desperation to act.

As the police close in, a violent confrontation against David erupts at the beach cliffs. In the chaos, David kills an officer, but ultimately, he meets his demise at the hands of Ellie and Marcus.

Months later, as the trauma of the events start to fade, Ellie and Marcus prepare to send Brittany back to school. They begin to rebuild their lives, symbolized by their decision to put their home on the market.
